Open Space and Mountain Parks reopens the entire length of Chapman Drive
The City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Department has reopened all of Chapman Drive west of Boulder to hikers, bikers and equestrians. The road was reopened today after crews completed temporary flood restoration work on the roadway and its nearby trailhead along Boulder Canyon.
While OSMP reopened the entire length of Chapman Drive to recreationists today, the road remains closed to vehicle traffic as the department works to reconstruct the roadway to its pre-flood condition. Bicyclists and equestrians accessing the road may find it difficult to traverse.
With today’s opening of Chapman Drive, OSMP has now reopened about 99 percent of its flood-damaged system. Visit www.osmp.org for the latest information about OSMP trails and climbing areas.
